Memphis police investigating connections in weekend shootings

Memphis Police Sunday were trying to determine how a rash of shootings Saturday night, including one fatality, were connected.

About 9 p.m., police were called to 9 W. Mallory, where they found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound. He told police that he had been dropped off on Mallory, but that the shooting occurred elsewhere. He was taken to the Med in stable condition.

While responding to the call on Mallory, police received two more shooting calls - at 36 E. Dempster and 1916 Asa.

Police found a 20-year-old man in the rear of the Asa address. He had been shot, and was taken to the Med in critical condition.

On Dempster, police found two shooting victims, one deceased. Both were sitting in a 2003 black Chevy Tahoe, and both had been shot.

One of the victims was taken to the Med in critical condition. The second victim, identified by police as 19-year-old Stanley Hood, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Memphis Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Karen Rudolph said the shootings, which began at 1916 Asa, appear to be related.
